    Really enjoyed playing this through with my partner. Thought it would be quite juvenile, childish but the themes and some parts of the story defintiely felt like we were the target audience and not kids.
    Plenty of fun silly minigames to try, although each one wasn't very complex so I don't feel the need to return to them much.

    Extrem geniales Game, wieder so tolle Easter Eggs, wie viele verschiedene Szenarien darin enthalten sind einfach wyld, so viele Themen und Minispiele und wieder viele versteckte Ereignisse. Es gibt sogar Anspielungen auf den 1. Titel A Way Out, generell sehr detailreich und überdacht gestaltet. Sprachlos. Breathtaking!

Also the story is simple but well made. More unusual for EA is that you have to buy this game just once, to play it online with your friend. You just need to invite him trough the friend pass. I recommend this game to everyone who has at least one friend. If you have none, try to get some and play this game it is absolutely worth it. 100/100    … Expand

    Атмосфера игры
    Лично у меня во время этой игры были флешбеки в беззаботное детство. Каждая локация игры великолепная, видно что разработчики тщательно над каждой из них работали, все они очень сильно понравились, но больше всего - детская комната, которая очень напоминала из мультика "История игрушек".

    Механики игры
    Они просто шикарны, в каждой из 9 глав для 2-ух героев были уникальные способности, которые взаимосвязаны со способностями вашего напарника, так же были какие-то общие механики, как канат либо же катание на льду, причем как выполнено последнее, мне безумно понравилось со стороны управления.

    Мини-игры
    Каждая мини-игра невероятно проработанная, больше всего запомнились: шаффлборд (мы с другом наверное минут 30 только в него играли), шахматы и гонки на льду, но и остальные игры невероятно крутые, так что лучше полностью исследовать все локации, чтобы ни одну не пропустить (к большому сожалению у нас это не вышло и всё таки пропустили парочку, хотя пытались исследовать каждый уголок).

    Сюжет игры
    Сюжет игры до невероятного простой: Коди и Мэй хотят развестись, дочка узнает об этом и своими слезами превращает их в куклы и чтобы им вернутся обратно в их тела, им необходимо вместе выполнять различные задания от книги любви во время которых они должны вернуть любовь и понимание в их отношения, но то как подан этот сюжет, это просто невероятно, игра способна зацепить человека абсолютно любого возраста. Но момент со слонихой сломает психику ребенку :)

    Ну и в заключение хочу сказать, что я конечно же рекомендую к прохождению эту игру, она подарит вам гору незабываемых эмоций, а кому-то даже различные ответы на ситуации в отношениях.    … Expand

It takes Two has so much to offer because in every chapter there is something new to experience. The diversity of weapons and how to use them is great. I did not feel bored once through the whole game while getting entertained by the book of love and the jokes Cody and May made about each other. It is a true romantic Comedy and the exact thing you need if you loved the good old days of couch coop and having fun together with your actual friends and family. This game is an absolute multiplayer-story masterpiece and even though it is more focused on the brilliant mechanics and gameplay the visuals look great too and the game is running smoothly. I would definitely recommend using a controller for this game because the aim assistance is well integrated and it just feels better but if you feel like preferring a keyboard you can still easily go for it. The most important thing about this game is the “psychological flow”. You always feel challenged but not overwhelmed because of the good balanced difficulty.… Expand

    You can't play online - everyone from their keyboard. Only keyboard + mouse and the other person controller. That really sucks. Story is super childish, which is perhaps on purpose. Gameplay is very good.

    The variety, and two player gameplay are excellent and fun, no complaints there whatsoever. The nods to different playstyles are especially fun, and there are times when the game blows my mind, especially vehicle segments. The people who made the game seem to have a certain understanding for balancing play design. The minigames vary from just ok to Excellent, and in general this is probably top two co-op experiences of all time.

    From a different perspective, the writing is absolutely awful, and the voice acting is bad, especially Rose, who is clearly voiced by an adult, and is extremely creepy. I would actually go so far as to say, the decision to cast rose as an adult completely ruins any sort of emotional weight the game may otherwise have had. My girlfriend and I usually just laugh at the creepy rose parts (especially after I played her what it reminded me of: Blue Jam, series 3, episode four, about 8:15). The writing is awful. The book is a weird (Mexican?) Stereotype, its not amusing at all, and just makes us roll our eyes and skip the cutscenes. There are also really lame jokes, including really hacky fart jokes, that seem more aimed at little kids, which is weird because this game really does not seem like a good game for kids in most regards. The world is also weirdly sparse, I really hate that every 3d platformer has become a collectathon, but it seems like there should be some things to find, or some small quests.

    Can't recommend it enough as a play experience though despite it's flaws.    … Expand

    Making a co-op video game is a nearly suicidal endeavor. Keeping the interest of two people for a lengthy period of time is hard, and therefore, these types of games don’t tend to be very profitable. But is the development of one worth it?

Keeping the interest of two people for a lengthy period of time is hard, and therefore, these types of games don’t tend to be very profitable. But is the development of one worth it? Well, when you have a game as well crafted as It Takes Two, it certainly is. First off, this is a 3D platformer, one of the most accessible genres, perfectly fitted for a co-op experience. Not only that, but it’s a good 3D platformer. The playable characters move so nimbly, and it’s so exciting to control them. Their movesets aren’t anything special, but they work really well to deliver a fine tuned experience in conjunction with the level design. This is a platforming video game, but it isn’t afraid to delve into other territories and genres. The gimmicks that take away from the platforming experience pan out really well. The dungeon crawler segment is surprisingly well made, and the more gimmicky boss fights are actually very well put together. You also have these mini-games scattered throughout the levels, which are a ton of fun on their own. There are some ideas like the kaleidoscope segment and the labyrinth toy that don’t work out too well, but those are few and far between. What I’m trying to say is that even with all of the gimmicks, this is a very consistent platformer that nails both movement and level design. It Takes Two is strictly a co-op experience, and it really couldn’t be anything else. Communicating with your partner to solve puzzles is absolutely necessary to beating this game. The title is actually a theme reflected many times throughout the game itself, both in storytelling and gameplay. In one level, one player has to put down nails, while the other uses a hammer. In another, each person is given one side of a magnet. Both players support each other throughout the game, meaning this is an experience that can only be had with a friend, and the game has good reason for being developed that way. On a storytelling front, It Takes Two does tend to fumble. Cutscenes feature a ton of expository dialogue, and it’s kind of unfortunate to see so much interesting symbolism just being explained through the method of ‘tell not show’. Even despite the overly descriptive dialogue, the story itself is charming, and that’s all you really need for this type of game. Overall the combination of really exciting level design that forces you to communicate with a friend, and gimmicks that are mostly well executed makes It Takes Two a co-op experience for the ages. 9/10.… Expand

    Самая прелесть – это геймплей. Просто безумное количество механик. Как будто 100 игр внутри одной. Здесь и гонки, и всевозможные головоломки, прохождение препятствий, полëты на чем угодно, битвы с боссами и ещё куча всего. Что важно, это интересно и не надоедает (разве что, наскучило под самый конец).

    Визуал в этой игре, как по мне, отличный. Хочу отметить проработку окружения. Очень здорово сделаны окружающие предметы на локациях, будь то какие-то игрушки, подушки, грибочки, микросхемы и другие маленькие детальки, которые в игре "становятся большими" (поиграв, вы поймёте о чём я).

You play as one of two members of a married couple who are getting a divorce, but a magical book of love intervenes, trying to force the two back together. As such, the entire game revolves around cooperative problem solving in a fantastical shrunken-down environment.

    The core cooperative gameplay of this game is quite decent. It is a 3D puzzle platformer at its core, with the main goal being to overcome various challenges to reach a destination, rather than exploration. The game is entirely linear, but it takes the player through a wide variety of environments, and does a good job of mixing things up.

    The main “gimmick” of the game is that you gain powers in each area of the game. In one area, one player might have a nail, and another a hammer head; this can be used to both nail stuff down, as well as to swing around from the nails using the hammer for the purposes of traversal. In another area, the characters are given silly guns by squirrels to go fight wasps, with one shooting globs of sap and the other being able to light them on fire and make them explode. Still later, you gain powers like the ability to shrink or grow, or walk on walls, or various other things.

    All of these are used to solve various environmental puzzles, usually revolving around traversal, but sometimes trying to make things line up or break something or accomplish some other task. These tasks vary considerably, and the game avoids repeating too much by changing up the gameplay not just between levels, but oftentimes within levels as well.

    This is a game that is afraid of the audience getting bored, and it generally does a good job of avoiding it; while a couple levels do linger a bit too long, generally speaking, it does keep things fresh.

    The fact that the players must work together constantly works really well; this isn’t a game where one player can just solve everything, both players have to work together to get stuff done. It’s a great coop game, and can be played both online and side by side. Interestingly, regardless of which way you play it, it is always played in split screen mode – the reason being that it is often necessary to see what your partner is doing, and often helpful for helping each other figure things out.

    Best of all, you don’t even both have to own the game to play it! Only one player actually needs to buy the game; the other player can join in via the friend’s pass version of the game, which makes it pretty ideal for sharing it with another person.

    If there is a complaint about the core gameplay, it is that while it mixes things up a fair bit, it is never really THAT great. It is always decent to good, but it never really reaches the point of greatness.

    On the flipside, however, the plot and story are rather weak. The protagonists actually have a good reason to split up, but their daughter doesn’t understand what is going on and is upset by it. The book is basically a product of their daughter’s distress, but unfortunately, it ends up not working out very well story-wise, as while the problems the characters have are brought up, they are never actually addressed.

    This is a huge lost opportunity, as while each area is supposedly addressing some sort of issue they have, none of these areas actually address the issue – playing inside a cuckoo clock is a cute way to represent that they never have enough time for each other or for doing the things they want to do, but the actual story never actually presents any sort of solution for the fact that one of the characters is working too much to spend any time with the family, while the other resents the lack of time they have with them (and frankly, does a rather poor job of being a house-husband).

    The problem is that the game sort of acts like there is some sort of progress here, even though none of it makes much sense as a means of actually overcoming their real issues with each other. I would have liked for the game to either resolve the issues in some way, or at least present a potential solution, or else have the characters be like “None of this has anything to do with actually solving our problems!” and have it all end with them being like “Nope, we’re getting divorced anyway.” The ending of the game isn’t particularly good or earned, and while it is a bit ambiguous, it’s not all that great.

    In all fairness to the writing, though, while the overall plot is lousy, the actual dialogue and situations are often amusing, and there are definitely some funny lines. Still, this is not a game to be played for its story.    … Expand

    This co-op game aligns its gameplay really well with the story to make the experience truly collaborative for the two players. Some of the levels were downright incredible to play and solve. Only slight negatives are that the story isn't groundbreaking and some levels feel like they just overstay their welcome.

    As other mentioned... first 15 minutes of the game is something you just have to endure. But then, oh boy... I will risk saying this is the best co-op game in history of video games. If you are in a relationship - you need to get a copy and play it with your 'better half' ;)

У неё были все карты: красочная графика, великолепная анимация, технологии геймплея и опыт создания кооперативной игры для двоих, но увы, мы получили платформер средней сложности, который да, проходишь на одном дыхании, но устаёшь от повторяющихся моментов.
    Сюжет: он не нужен. Да, вроде и прикольно посмотреть на Коди и Мэй, которые с помощью Книги Любви (которую так и хотелось сжечь) проходят через тернистый путь, чтобы вновь полюбить друг друга. Сей пробег по воспоминаниям семейной парочки был бы трогательным, не будь тут слишком много роликов и копеечного юмора, который сразу же игнорируется и не вызывает улыбку, именно из-за лёгкой атмосферы концовка не ощущается никак, но это типа сказка, где должен быть счастливый конец.
    Геймплей: средней сложности. Игра не будет идти наперекор вашим извилинам, поэтому если с платформерами на ты, то сложности не возникнут. У игры был потенциал головоломки, особенно с особыми скиллами, которые меняются с каждой главой, но увы, игра кидает тебе парочку действительно стоящих головоломок и... потом забывает про них, предлагая тебе просто побегать и попрыгать ради сюжета. Так что это бегалка, хоть и довольно неплохая. На фоне этой игры хорошо выделяется Biped, которая просто даёт тебе экшон челлендж и тут НУЖНО работать вместе, иначе дальше не пройдёшь. В этой же игре сильного духа единства не чувствуется, а ведь было бы здорово, когда после криков и вырываний волос на голове, вы наконец-то соображаете, как действовать сообща. Не будет и моментов "Аха", когда додумались до решения задачи. Мне не понравился разделённый экран, в Portal 2 ты смотришь в свой экран и можешь поднять экран напарника, здесь ты смотришь на обрезыши постоянно. Тут нет собиралок и трофеев, есть мини-игры, в которых можно посоревноваться и небольшие отвлетления со сменой геймплея, которые отсылают к играм разной эпохи, так что можно сказать, что игра себя перепробовала во всех жанрах.
    Оформление: просто конфетка. Мне нравятся, как выглядят персонажи и окружение. Было очень приятно погружаться в тематические разные миры, к тому же полно гиммиков и переделок, которые позволят погрузиться в атмосферу ещё больше. Также, тут полно отсылок к разным игрушкам и поп-культуре ушедшего века, поэтому людям старшего возраста будет что вспомнить. Музыка также добавляет в атмосферу нотки эмоций.
    Итого: есть минусы, но игра выигрывает в плане того, что кооперативов на двоих, особенно такого масштаба, можно по пальцам пересчитать, так что конкуренция маленькая, Фарес тут смог уделать индустрию. Радует, что другу не нужно покупать игру, хоть и не будет достижений, также спасибо, что добавили игру в подписку, не пожалел денег ради красочного, пусть и местами однообразного приключения.    … Expand

    But. Yes, there's always a but if you're not RDR2. Despite the fact that It Takes Two doesn't promise you a mind-blowing story, it lacks the motivation to keep playing the game for the story (this part is important because I'll bring this up again), don't get me wrong the story is sweet and all but I'm not much of a person for sweet little stories to tell your grandchildren. It's just a standard one, don't expect much out of it.
    Anyway, let's move on to the part where the fun begins. A few sentences earlier I stated that the game lacks the motivation on the story, however it has all the motivation you need to keep playing thanks to the unique gameplay and mechanics the game holds in it (except for a few parts which can be overlooked). The diversity and the opportunities in every chapter can make you fall for this game. For instance, the one where you become a Thor like character and throw nails around. Oh!
    You don't like Thor? Okay, maybe a part where you become something of a Captain America yourself and just play fetch with your shield. Maybe you can pretend you're the late wonderful Edith Piaf and sing your way out of the level or you can play as a wizard and a knight in a MMORPG alike sequence. Not even mentioning the extremely fun minigames spread across the chapters (I insist on you to play the baseball one). It's not quite usual that we see a game with this much variation in gameplay.
    As you can see there are a lot of things you can and probably will do in this game. So, go on and get your buddy or your girlfriend or whoever you'd like, hop on to It Takes Two and enjoy!

With its innovative gameplay mechanics, charming characters, and heartfelt storytelling, the game offers a unique cooperative experience that is both entertaining and emotionally resonant.

    One of the standout features of It Takes Two is its innovative gameplay design. The game requires two players to work together in seamless cooperation to progress through the levels and overcome obstacles. The variety of gameplay mechanics and puzzles is impressive, ranging from platforming challenges to inventive mini-games. The constant need for communication and coordination between players fosters a sense of teamwork and creates memorable moments of collaboration.

    The game's imaginative world is beautifully realized, with stunning visuals and a whimsical art style that exudes charm. Each level introduces new environments and mechanics, keeping the gameplay fresh and engaging. From navigating a magical tree to exploring a treacherous toy world, the game constantly surprises and delights with its creative design and attention to detail.

    It Takes Two shines in its characterization and storytelling. The protagonists, Cody and May, are a couple on the verge of divorce who find themselves transformed into dolls within a fantastical world. The story explores themes of love, forgiveness, and the complexities of relationships, with emotional depth and nuance. The witty and well-written dialogue, combined with strong voice acting performances, brings the characters to life and enhances the emotional impact of the narrative.

    The game's pacing is well-executed, with a good balance between lighthearted moments and more introspective, emotional sequences. It successfully combines humorous and whimsical elements with poignant storytelling, creating a narrative that resonates with players on a personal level.

    It Takes Two's soundtrack deserves special mention, as it perfectly complements the game's tone and enhances the overall experience. The music captures the emotions of each scene, from playful tunes during lighthearted moments to poignant melodies during more emotional sequences. The score adds depth and immersion to the game, enhancing the storytelling and atmosphere.

    While It Takes Two offers a truly remarkable cooperative experience, it does have a few minor shortcomings. Some of the gameplay mechanics, while innovative, can occasionally feel repetitive or overly complicated, requiring precise coordination and timing between players. Additionally, the game's reliance on co-op play may limit its accessibility for players without a dedicated partner, as it does not offer a viable single-player option.

    Overall, It Takes Two is a heartwarming and engaging co-op adventure that excels in its unique gameplay mechanics, beautiful visuals, and heartfelt storytelling. The game's emphasis on teamwork and cooperation, along with its memorable characters and emotional narrative, make it a standout experience in the co-op genre. While it may have a few minor flaws, the overall package is a testament to Hazelight Studios' creativity and ability to craft a game that is both entertaining and meaningful.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I can't really add to the hype. Even though its clearly one of the greater couch coop games, as a game itself it has three flaws:

    a) the replayability The game is very, very narrow. It's basically a movie, where you press buttons at the right time. Every playthrough is almost the same. Sure, you can miss a jump, but thats it.

    b) the difficulty
    This game is ultra casual. It's designed to let noone ever fail. Difficult jumps and scenes get heavy assists from the game. Being a little correct on a button press usually is enough. There is no real challenge, which adds to the "coop movie feel" and also removes replayability.

    c) the story "The story?" you ask? Yes, the story. Even though it seems like the strong point of the game, it has holes, that killed my enjoyment of the game a lot. If you don't want to read spoilers, stop here. Ok.

    The thing is, that the game is based on the story of parents, that lost themselves and their love to become pretty egoistic and ignorant. The game is the story of them discovering love again. That could be amazing. The problem that destroyed that for me was the "cutie scene". The writer said, that the scene was meant to show the parents state of mind. I get that, but it's incredibly over the top. Instead of making them look egoistic and unloving, it makes them look like psychopaths, that should be imprisoned for life to protect society. In an attempt to break the spell, they get the idea of making their daughter cry by destroying her most beloved plushy. That alone is pretty weird for parents, but ok. It turns out the plushy is alive. It doesn't stop them thinking its a great idea to kill it. They plan the murder attempt for hours, lie about their goals, kill hundreds of plushies to get access to the victim, don't stop when the plushy elephant is nice to them, begs for her life, swears she will help them break the spell instead, runs in panic from them. They mutilate the victim, torture it, and finally kill it. At one point they even recognite they might be the villains, but continue. To top that up, when it finally makes their daughter cry in emotional pain, they literally bath in the tears of her daughter while dancing and laughing.

    This felt so unrealistic for parents who just lost their mojo temporarily, but can find back being supportive and loving mum and dad. There was no empathy, no remorse. The game doesn't even pick up that scene later.

    I had a hard time to continue playing, because I couldn't see why these parents could possibly achieve a happy ending. Even when they stop getting a divorce and become human again, they still shouldn't be the guardian of a minor. It also didn't feel good to continue trying to have them succeed as the player.

    Even though it's just that scene, that really creates that plot hole, I think its a serious one and takes a lot from this game. It felts like lazy writing to achieve emotions, without making it fit.

    I don't have a problem with torture scenes in Videogames, because I liked the GTA V torture scenes. They were fitting the story. In this game it doesn't. It basically makes the happy ending dull and pointless. I decided to try to ignore this scene and play on and it was technically fun, but the story was broken for me.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Since the dawn of time, man has asked: What if Knack was pretentious? What if Psychonauts was boring? What if the mach speed sections of the 3D Sonic games were sluggish plods devoid of challenge? Unfortunately, Aristotle was not able to see the answer to these mysteries. More unfortunately, I was. It Takes Two comes to us from EA, a company most gamers know is a bunch of evil pricks, until they publish a game like this, the kind of indie title that people used to only pretend to like because its existence leant a veneer of artistic credibility to the medium of gaming. "Look, look!" they cry, fingers pointing, jaws slack, "it's not a sensory-overloading gorefest or barely disguised pornography! It's a game about something! Please take my hobby seriously so I can feel less like a loser."

    To say that ITT feels like a game that only exists so its creator could show it off at GDC for indie cred and convention **** would be burying the lede. The game comes courtesy of Swedish-Lebanese film director, game developer, and douche, Josef Fares. A quick glance at Fares' creative portfolio reveals a true wellspring of imagination. Fares is a man who immigrated to Sweden from Lebanon as a child to flee the Lebanese Civil War, and his most mainstream successful film is "Zozo", about a Lebanese boy who flees to Sweden to escape his country's civil war. The reason I credit it as having the most mainstream success of his filmography is because it was actually chosen to represent Sweden in the 78th Academy Awards "Best Foreign Language Film" category. Notice I did not say it was nominated for an Academy Award for "Best Foreign Language Film." I bring this up only to mention that Fares is infamous for a deranged speech at The Games Awards where he (in addition to screaming "this is my time to shine" and correcting Geoff Keighley on the number of films he's made) said F- the Oscars." It's a sentiment I agree with, but one that unavoidably hits different coming from someone who was explicitly rejected BY the Oscars.

    But back on topic: The creative sterility reveals itself before you even load up the game. Following up his previous two games of "Narrative-based co-op puzzle platformer" and "Narrative-based co-op generic 3rd person action game", ITT is a narrative-based co-op puzzle platformer. You play as Cody and May, a couple on the verge of divorce who become doll versions of themselves in a magical representation of their house because their daughter is sad about it. Throughout the game, you platform through obvious metaphors as the game repeatedly assaults you with scenes of our heroes finding random objects, saying "oh, remember how you used to play music? Remember how we used to go out and dance? Remember when we were young? Do you think we did a good job of unsubtly signaling to the audience that the story being told here is how we've drifted apart because our passions and youth have dwindled over the years?" once every 5 minutes.

    If you've made it this far into the review (thanks for that) and you're curious about the gameplay, it's fine. As I said three paragraphs ago, much of the game feels like the auto-scroller segments of a 3D Sonic the Hedgehog game had been slowed down to the point of childish simplicity, as if Hazelight found out the same secret Nintendo did, that you can take the same kinds of gameplay as a 3D Sonic title, tighten the controls by 20%, and slow the scrolling down to the point of zero challenge, and trick people who'd otherwise keep dying, get frustrated, and declare it bad game design into thinking that it's a masterpiece. (Also, tightening the controls is a lot harder than it sounds, because it means longer development cycles and more money for QA testing, and only companies with AAA money like, conveniently, Nintendo and EA, can really afford to eat the costs.) If the idea of Trine crossed with Mario Party excites you, you'd probably love this game. If that's what you want, then go for it, but I'll guarantee you there's a game like it already on Steam that's cheaper, longer than 15 hours, and doesn't force you to use Origin.

    But it's not the gameplay giving this game "Best Game of 2021" cred, it's the story. It's a twee, melodramatic indie game. In the minds of a certain demographic of male gamer (Funko collectors who still eat kid's cereals in footie pajamas while watching cartoons) this kind of game is the closest thing you get to cultural legitimacy. As a story goes, it's trash. The parents spend 95% of the game not even giving a F- about their kid, killing its sentient stuffed animal to make her cry for the purposes of breaking the spell, that NOT WORKING, and they not even feel bad for her. The stupid book explicitly telling you "I'm only halting your progress to pad out the story." The climax is her singing a made up song without lyrics to arouse her husband into kissing her. These people are awful parents who clearly resent their child's existence. Seriously, F- this game.    … Expand

    So overrated !! The controls are just so bad, so clunky and the camera so annoying. "Puzzles" are too easy, no challenge except for the bosses and trying to jump with these weird controls. I've played hundreds of games and I just don't get it. The rest is not that bad and if the controls and camera were not that bad, it would not be a great game but not a bad game either.

    Horrible storytelling, just bad writing disguised as dark humor that makes no sense for this type of game. If you think this is funny you are just a bad human being. The game play is amazing, however the terrible writing makes the game unplayable.

    Le doy baja calificación por esa burla hacia México y el resto de Hispanoamérica al no incluir textos de nuestra región, y nos obligan leer lo de España.

    Hasta Brasil tiene una traducción propia, que es solo un país en el continente.

    No recomiendo el videojuego si quieres algo de single player, y obviamente tampoco por hacernos jugar en inglés o el español ibérico.

    Weak game, limited to 2 players and with a clichéd and predictable story. Poorly optimized and boring over time.

    Terrible writing torpedoes what would have been an otherwise acceptable co-operate game.

    The parents are so awful they make me want to call CPS.

    Гениально! Захватывающе! Потрясающе!
    Одна из тех игр, где на немногочисленные минусы (местами проседает фпс при стриминге другу,скучноватый сюжет и некоторая неравноправность механик) спокойно закрываешь глаза.
    Это как если бы персонаж Supraland пытался сбежать из Psychonauts в стиле A Way Out. Займи денег,ограбь банк, обмани казино - но купи. Научи свою бабушку играть, найди себе    Гениально! Захватывающе! Потрясающе!

    I only have one person to play this game with and he is a bad gamer therefore it would be great If this game had single-player mode.

    First of all, if someone buys this game, the other friend does not need to buy it + it earns points. The gameplay in the game is great, the story is bad.

    The game didn't recognized my logitech F310 on steam (even though I use it on other games), so I got myself an xbox controller but the game doesn't recognize the Top Right button.
    Waste of money and time for me and my wife.
    Only buy the game if you are 100% sure you have a controller that actually works for the game.

    Unfortunately this game breaks constantly because the publisher, EA forces their launcher on you. Its probably good but most people will just get frustrated with the EA launcher, which constantly changes to new launchers and breaks all the time.

    It Takes Two manages to combine cooperative acting in the level of many game genres, perfectly dose the pace and tell a serious story about parenting with a successful exaggeration. All this beautifully in a detailed fairytale-fantasy world, the exploration of which makes it a double joy.

    True, there's no single moment to touch the climax of his heartbreaking 2013 debut, Brother: A Tale of Two Sons, but Fares's third - and best - game as director suggests the Oscars' loss is very much videogames' gain. [Issue#358, p.108]

    Tonally it is all over the place, never seeming quite sure what type of game it wants to be and audience it wants to court. At times it as sweet, warm and sharply enjoyable as any family film. May and Cody’s jibes at each other swerve from affectionate to cutting in a believable and often touching way as they pick at the rifts in their relationship. You may even start to root for them, until the game swerves into a task involving the excruciatingly drawn-out murder of a toy elephant to make their daughter cry.
